Question
Based on the Down syndrome screening results, patients are concerned about whether their AEP value is low and whether their HCG levels are normal. How should these indicators be understood, and what medical advice should be given?
Answer
The Down syndrome screening is merely a risk assessment tool and not a diagnostic method. If the doctor recommends further examination, patients should cooperate to assess the risk of fetal illness. Under the guidance of the doctor, procedures such as amniocentesis can help determine if the fetus has Down syndrome. Currently, patients should not be overly worried and maintaining a positive attitude is crucial for pregnancy.
